Jude and Kevin as revolutionaries

Tag

The other evening Kevin Spacey and Jude Law marched the streets of London along with a hundred or so activists to call for freedom of expression and an end to dictatorship in Belarus. While Jude Law (38) is known for his war activism, Kevin Spacey (51) admitted that he didn’t know much about what was happening in Belarus until going to the Belarus Free Theatre: “It's the only time I've read a program saying nearly every single member of a theatre company has been arrested or imprisoned.” said the actor.

He also said that because he supported the cause, his films are now banned in Belarus. Law spoke of Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko by saying “Freedom of speech is not just about artistic expression but also about fundamental freedoms, we have the opportunity in this country to protest, to be heard and to use our freedom of speech. It's our responsibility, therefore, that we speak for those who are less fortunate, especially as fellow Europeans.”

Joining Jude, Kevin and other protestors in the center of London marching toward the House of Commons were playwright Sir Tom Stoppard and actor Roger Lloyd Pack. Who says theater is boring?
